Let’s get to know TourRadar and how they are the next innovation for your upcoming trip.
What is TourRadar?
TourRadar is a platform dedicated to organized adventures, boasting the largest array of multi-day adventure options worldwide. Through TourRadar's user-friendly online portal, travelers and agents can effortlessly connect with over 2,500 multi-day operators, accessing a staggering 50,000 adventures across more than 160 countries.
With operational bases in North America, Europe, and Australia, TourRadar's team of global travel experts is accessible around the clock online, providing comprehensive support throughout the booking and travel process. Additionally, TourRadar prioritizes environmentally sustainable travel by facilitating carbon offsetting for all adventures and actively collaborates with local operators to champion the protection and enhancement of communities benefiting from adventure tourism.
How has it been received by the market?
Presently, their growth rate stands at approximately 50% on a monthly basis.
Initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Their platform significantly streamlines the adventure and tour booking process, saving considerable time previously spent on researching optimal options for their clients.
How did the pandemic change things for your business?
The global pandemic underscored a pressing need for travel advisors worldwide to gain enhanced access to high-quality and specialized operators.
The team soon embarked on creating a dedicated platform tailored specifically for advisors to facilitate adventure bookings through their service.
Despite advancements, a significant portion of the industry continues to operate offline, underscoring the value for individuals to collaborate with their trusted advisors. Over 60% of their inventory is readily available for instant booking, presenting a compelling proposition for travel advisors seeking to expedite the booking process and secure confirmations promptly. Amidst staffing challenges plaguing call centers globally, agents can circumvent prolonged wait times by utilizing TourRadar’s Partner Portal for seamless online bookings.

Christian Wolters, CMO at TourRadar will be joining us in person at our upcoming TechTO: Travel event on May 9 to chat more with our attendees about all things travel, and how things have changed post-pandemic.
Christian will be joined by other experts in the travel tech space who will share their learnings and perspective on how travel has changed pre-pandemic vs. post-pandemic.
